Do ONE (or for overachievers TWO) of the following tasks prior to the November 4th meeting. If applicable you can e-mail me your project. Those who wish to design a flyer could do it for an upcoming camping trip. We'll share your projects at the next meeting. You will need to do two projects for the badge.
- Use a database manager to create a troop roster that includes the name, rank, patrol, and telephone number of each Scout. Show your counselor that you can sort the register by each of the following categories: rank, patrol, and alphabetically by name.
- Use a spreadsheet program to develop a food budget for a patrol weekend campout.
- Use a word processor to write a letter to the parents of your troop's Scouts inviting them to a court of honor. Use the program's mail merge feature to make a personalized copy of the letter for each family.
- Use a computer graphics program to design and draw a campsite plan for your troop, OR design a flyer for an upcoming troop event.
- Using a software package of your choice, develop a short presentation about a topic that has been approved by your counselor. For your presentation create at least 10 slides.
- Using an Internet search engine, find ideas about how to conduct a troop court of honor or campfire program. Print out a copy of the ideas from at least three different Web sites. Share what you found with your counselor, and explain how you used the search engine to find this information.
- Using a digital camera, take a picture of a troop activity. Transfer the picture file to a computer and use photographic software to make it small enough to send easily as an e-mail attachment. Then, using a computer connected to the Internet (with your parent's permission), send an e-mail to someone you know. In your message, include the photograph as an attachment. Verify that the person received your e-mail and was able to view the attachment.
